(II)
John, second son and sixth child of
1758
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Thomas and Mary Carter, was born May 18, 1650, in Salisbury, and resided in that town, where he was probably a farmer. He subscribed to the oath of fidelity and allegiance there in December, 1677. He was a soldier and was sent to the defense of Marlboro about 1689. His wife Martha died March IO, 1718, at which time he was living. His chil- dren were: Mary (died young), Thomas, Abigail, John, Samuel, Mary and Ephraim.
(III) Ephraim, youngest chld of John and Martha Carter, was born November 2, 1693, in Salis- bury, and lved in the northern part of that town. His wife's name was Martha. He was the first of the Carter family in Concord, and appeared there soon after 1740. He came with his family from South Hampton, New Hampshire, and when they started "The neighbors expressed great sympathy for them; gathered around and wept, when they bid them farewell, to go so far into the wilderness." Reaching Sugar Ball hill, they chained the wheels of the cart containing their goods, to get them down the hill safely; transported their goods over the Merrimack in a canoe-swimming the oxen; then fastening bed cords to the tongue of the cart, dragged that across the river. Reloading their goods, the carted them all up to the house. Ephraim Carter and Ezra Carter were in the garrison around the house of Lieutenant Jeremiah Stickney in 1746. Ephraim had a family of five children : Ezra, Daniel, Ezekiel. Joseph and Abigail. The last named is said to have been eleven years old when she came to Concord with her father. (Ezekiel re- ceives mention in a later paragraph of this article.)
(IV) Daniel, second son and third child of Ephraim Carter, was born in Salisbury, Massachu- setts, but first settled in South Hampton, New Hampshire, whence he removed to Concord about 1750, after the birth of his eldest child, and settled in what was afterwards known as the Iron Works District. He married Hannah Fowler, a native of Salisbury, Massachusetts, and they had seven chil- dren : Ezra, Molly, Daniel, Hannah, John, Moses and Anna. (John and Moses receive further men- tion in this article.)
(V) Ezra, eldest child of Daniel and Hannah (Fowler) Carter, was born in South Hampton, was brought by his parents to Concord and settled in the West Parish in Concord, where he was a farmer. He married Phebe Whittemore, of Pembroke. Their children were: Ruth, Timothy, Hannah, Rhoda, Ezra, Phebe, Esther, Daniel, Judith and Deborah. Rhoda and Esther became, successively, the wives of Moses Farnum (see Farnum, V). Deborah was the wife of Henry Rolfe (sec Rolfe, VI).
(VI) Timothy, second child and eldest son of Ezra and Phebe ( Whittemore) Carter, was born in Concord, March 6, 1767, and died February 7, 1843, aged seventy-six years. He resided in the West Parish. He was married June 12, 1794, to Judith Chandler, daughter of Captain Abiel and Judith (Walker) Chandler (see Chandler, VI). She was born October 9, 1770, and died December 28, 1852. aged eighty-two years. Their children were: Abiel Chandler, Ezra, Sarah Rumford and Judith Walker. (Ezra and descendants are noticed in this article.)
(VII) Abiel Chandler, eldest child of Timothy and Judith (Chandler) Carter, was born January 8, 1796, in West Concord, where he passed his life. He was married in 1819 to Patty Farnum (see Farnum,V), and they had the following children : Timothy, Franklin B., Sarah P., Augustine C. and Martha H.
(VIII) Augustine Clark. third son and fourth child of Abiel C. and Patty (Farnum) Carter, was
born August 28, 1831, on the old Carter home- stead, near Penacook lake, and always lived in the neighborhood of his birthplace. He was a success- ful farmer, and engaged largely in the timber busi- ness in early life. He was considered an expert judge of timber values, and his judgment was often sought by others, on standing timber. He was a regular attendant on church services at the West Concord Congregational Church as long as he was able to be about. He passed away at his home in West Concord, at four o'clock. Sunday morning, February 4, 1906, in his seventy-fifth year. Mr. Carter was a lifelong Democrat, and represented ward three in the legislature in 1874. He was one of the best known and highly respected residents of his ward, and was appreciated by his friends and family as a loving husband and kind father. He was married September 1. 1857, to Sarah E. Res- tieaux, of Hopkinton, daughter of William and Bet- sey (Chase) Restieaux. They had two daughters, Lizzie R. Carter and Mattie E., wife of Frank E. Dimond (see Dimond, VII).

(VII) Ezra, second son of Timothy and Judith (Chandler) Carter, was born in West Concord, December 27, 1798, and died January 28, 1879. aged eighty years. He received his early education in the common schools of Concord; later attended Pem- broke Academy, and then commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Moses Chandler, of Concord. He continued his medical studies in Boston, where he had the clinical instruction of Dr. James Jackson ; attended lectures in New Haven, Connecticut, and afterwards at Bowdoin College, Maine, from which he graduated in 1824. The obituary notice of Dr. Carter, written by Dr. C. P. Gage, gives so just an account of him that the most of the following account is taken from it.
"He commenced practice in Concord in 1825. In 1826 he removed to the neighboring town of Lou- don, but returned in 1828 to Concord. where he continued in the active practice of his profession until within a few years of his death. In 1836 and 1837 he was a representative from Concord in the state legislature, was commissioned justice of the peace in 1837, was physician to the state prison for many years, and held many town and city offices. In 1844 he was president of the New Hampshire Medical Society, in which since 1826 he had been an active and esteemed member."
"As a general practitioner, Dr. Carter stood deservedly high with his professional brethern and with the community. By a judicious course of read- ing he kept himself well informed in the medical

literature of his time. He had a happy faculty of bringing to bear in any given case the results of his reading and experiences, and was always able to sustain his opinion by sound reasons and the best authorities. He early secured, and for a lifetime held, a very lucrative practice. His patrons ranked well in the community as to means and respecta- bility. He was untiring in his investigations of cases ; slow, but uncommonly accurate in his diag- moses. From a long and close observance of the modus operandi of drugs, he acquired uncommon skill in selecting and exhibiting remedies. Being endowed with good common sense, much tact and sound judgment, he early gained the reputation of a safe and successful practitioner. In surgery few were better read or had sounder views of that branch of the healing art than he possessed. He treated all cases that fell under his care with re- markable success. At any rate, I do not believe there is a single case of deformity extant to adver- tise his want of surgical skill, and that is much to say of any man of fifty years' service. For many years he was the leading physician of Concord and its vicinity in obstetrical cases. In the sick room, he was a model physician, quiet, gentle, and sooth- ing.'
"Dr. Carter was the most modest and unassum- ing man I ever met in the profession, never boast- ing of what he had done or of what he could do, although nature, circumstances, and his own efforts had combined to make him a great physician."
"His well balanced and well stored mind, long experience, strict integrity and watchful care of the interests of his consulting brother, as well as that of the patient, made him a favorite with men of his profession and brought him in frequent counsel with all the well bred physicians of his neighbor- hood."
He married, May 8, 1830, Abby T. Clark, of Portsmouth. They had two children : Edward Pierce and William Gardner.
(IX) Dr. William Gardner Carter, second child and son of Dr. Ezra and Abby T. ( Clark) Carter, was born in Concord, August 8. 1838, and died March 7, 1904. After completing his studies at Pembroke Academy he worked in the book store of his uncle in Portland. Maine, for a time. From there he entered Bowdoin Medical College, but took his degree from Harvard Medical School in 1869. Returning to Concord he succeeded to his father's practice and soon attained popularity as a physician. His professional career was closed about 1889 by reason of failing health, after about twenty years spent in the practice of it. He was one of those bright, cheery persons whose presence is a . ray of sunshine in a sick room and is remembered by his former patients with heartfelt, pleasure. His retirement did not lessen his interest in the pro- fession and professional work, and during the re- mainder of his life he kept himself well informed upon matters of interest to the medical world by means of his journals and books, which enabled him to discuss with the fullest professional intelli- gence the latest methods of treatment. He posses- sed a broad culture, especially in literature and music, and was a musical critic and performer of fine perception and attainments. While a lad in Portland he was organist in a prominent church, and upon coming to Concord to practice medicine began a term of service as organist at the North Church which lasted as long as his strength would permit him to continue this labor of love. The exercise of his musical talent made many happy hours for him and those around him, both at home
and in society. He was a genial, hospitable man and a friend has well said: "Dr. Carter was a man of boundless generosity, and his engaging personality drew around him a group of devoted friends for whom his delightful wit, his broad views of men and affairs, his charming manners and unfeigned solicitude has a constantly increasing allurement. His home was the center of attraction for a rare company of kindred spirits who always found in him a source of keen and delightful companion- ship." Dr. Carter was married, May 13, 1869, to Miss Harriet Esther Pecker, daughter of Robert Eastman and Esther (Lang) Pecker, of Concord (see Pecker, VI). Mrs. Carter was born October 6, 1846, in the house where she now resides, on North Main street, Concord. She is active in the social and intellectual life of the town, and in club and church work. She is the mother of one son, Robert Ezra Carter, who is now employed in the Boston banking house of E. H. Rollins' Sons. (V) Colonel John Carter, fifth child and third son of Daniel and Hannah (Fowler) Carter, was born in Concord, New Hampshire, and was a promi- nent citizen and large property owner there. His residence was on what in 1834 was named Hall street, and owned what was called the Interval Farm in the "Bend of the River" on the southern line of the town. In the war of 1812 he was lieu- tenant-colonel of a regiment of volunteers enlisted for the northern army, and under the command of General Aquilla Davis, of Warner. Under date of November 11, 1847, the New Hampshire Patriot had the following notice: "Died in this town (Concord), November 7. Colonel John Carter, a revolutionary pensioner and colonel in a regiment in the war of 1812, aged eighty-eight years and five months. Colonel Carter was a native of Concord, and at the time of his decease was the second oldest resident of the place. He was always a firm and consistent Democrat, and lover of his country." He married (first) Betsey Brown, and had one daughter. Anna. He married (second) widow Lucy Wells, formerly Cavis. Their children were: Betsey, Wells, John, Nathaniel, Aaron. William MI. and Hiram.
(VI) Betsey, second daughter and child of Colonel John and Lucy (Cavis) (Wells) Carter, became the wife of David White (see White, HI). (VI) Hiram, youngest child of Colonel John and Lucy (Cavis) ( Wells) Carter, was born in Bow. June 13, 1802. His early life was spent in Bow and on his father's farm on what is now Hall street, Concord. The schooling he received was only such as the district schools of his day af- forded, and a part of the time he was obliged to walk three miles to a school house for instruction. His active life was devoted partly to farming and lumbering and partly to matters connected with the navigation of the Merrimack river, which was traversed from Concord to its mouth by boats and rafts by the aid of canals and locks and dams until the completion of the railroad to Concord in 1842. His residence for years was in winter time at the farm and in summer in a house below Concord, near the river. For five or ten years between 1832 and 1842 he was pilot and locktender at Garvins Falls, during the season of navigation, and when other employment was not to be had he devoted his leisure to catching salmon for the market. Between tween 1850 and 1860 he spent five or six years in East Dixfield, Maine, where he was engaged in farming until the death of his second wife, when he re- turned to Concord. After his third marriage he lived in Pembroke. New Hampshire, where he died November 2, 1890. His political faith was of the

Jacksonian sort of Democracy, and his religious creed was that of the Universalists. He married (first) in Wilton, Maine, June 5, 1823, Sally A. Mayhew, born October 21, 1802, daughter of Nathan and Sally Mayhew. Nathan Mayhew was born De- cember 23, 1778, and he married in Livermore, Maine, June 15, 1800, Sally Mayhew, born March I, 1773. Their children were : Phebe, Sally A., Thomas, Nathan, Isabel, Samuel, Cordelia and Han- nah A. Nathan Mayhew died March 12, 1855, and his wife Sally, June 12, 1844. Sally A. (Mayhew) Carter died July 6, 1846, and Mr. Carter married (second) Hannah A. Mayhew, her sister, born ·Oc- tober 18, 1814. She died at East Dixfield, Maine, July 25, 1862, and he married (third) Theodate Brickett, of Pembroke, who survived him, and died February 27, 1896, at Northwood, New Hampshire. The children of the first wife were: Lucy D., Mary A., Amanda M. F. W., Sarah A., George R., Nathan M., Hiram J., Andrew B., Lucy D. and Orin T. The children of the second marriage, all born in Wilton, Maine, were: William Nelson, died young, Nelson N., Albert E., Franklin P. and William Manly.
(VII) Orin T., ninth and youngest child of Hiram and Sally A. (Mayhew) Carter, was born in Concord, February 6, 1843. His early education was acquired in the common school of Dixford, Maine, where he was taken by his father on his removal to Maine. At the age of nineteen he re- turned to Concord and engaged in the grocery business with C. C. Webster. In 1863 he enlisted in Company A, First Regiment, New Hampshire Heavy Artillery, with which he served until he was discharged. He served two years and two months, stationed at Ft. Constitution, New Hamp- shire, and at Washington, D. C. After his return from the war he took his former position in Web- ster's grocery store, where he worked until he started in business for himself as a grocer and fish monger. Later he accepted his brother as a partner, and the firm of Carter Brothers continued the business until ill health compelled Orin T. to relinquish this for some out-door employment. The two years next following he travelled through the rural districts and sold groceries from a wagon. Subsequently the firm of Carter & Pillsbury, dealers in dry goods, was formed, of which Mr. Carter was senior partner. This firm sold out to Mc- Questen & Company, and Mr. Carter served as an employee of that firm for eight years. He then became a travelling agent and has been engaged in that line of employment for the ten years last past. Mr. Carter is an energetic man and a good citizen, is fond of the company of his fellowinen, and is a member of various fraternal organiza- tions; among which are: E. E. Sturtevant Post, No. 2, Grand Army of the Republic; White Moun- tain Lodge, No. 5, Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows; Concord Lodge, No. 8, Knights of Pythias, and Profile Commandery, No. 263, Ancient and Independent Order Knights of Malta. He married, November 24, 1869, at Concord, Nellie A. Pillsbury, born in Concord, November 26, 1850, daughter of Thomas W. and Abigail (Palmer) Pillsbury, of Concord. They have five children: John P., born October 24, 1872; Fred E., June 5, 1874; Katie A., February 28, 1876, died February 4, 1881; Etta M., August 25, 1883, died September 16, 1904; George O., October 9, 1890, died April 4, 1893.
HOBBS Among the early families of New England were three of the surname Hobbs, whose immigration dated to the times of the Puritans of the first half of the seven-
teenth century. Tradition says they were brothers, and that one returned to his mother country, while the other two-Maurice (or Morris) and Henry remained. Henry settled in Dover and his de- scendants removed to what is now North Berwick, where some of them still reside.
(I) Maurice (or Morris) Hobbs was the pro- genitor of the New Hampshire families of that surname. He was born about 1615, and settled in the town of Hampton, New Hampshire, sometime between the years 1640 and 1645, removing from thence in the latter named year to Rollinsford, where he settled on the bank of the river. He took the oath of allegiance to Massachusetts in the fall of 1648. There is an interesting tradition regarding the immigration of Maurice Hobbs and the cir- cumstances which impelled his action. The story is told by Dow in his valuable "History of Hamp- ton" (New Hampshire) and can be best retold here in the words of that versatile writer : "He (Hobbs) had been paying his addresses to a young lady who, for some cause not mentioned, turned him off, and thereupon he determined to emigrate to America. When the lady knew of it she relented, and know- ing he would pass her residence as he proceeded to embark, placed herself in his view, hoping to bring about a reconciliation. To her grief she found him inexorable; and although she accosted him with the affectionate inquiry, 'Whither goest thou, Maurice,' yet he deigned not to turn his head or look back upon her; and they never saw each other more." Maurice Hobbs married (first) Sarah Estaw, who died May 5, 1686, and she bore him the following children : William, John, Sarah, Nehe- miah, Morris, James, Mary, Bethia, Hannah and Abigail. William Estaw, father of Sarah (Estaw) Hobbs, was one of the grantees of Hampton and one of its first settlers. He was made freeman in 1638, and is said to have been a widower when he came to the town. He represented Hampton at the general assembly three years. His children were Sarah and Mary Estaw, the latter of whom married Thomas Marston. Maurice Hobbs married (sec- ond) Sarah Swett, June 13, 1678, daughter of Captain Benjamin and Esther (Weare) Swett. She was born November 7, 1650, and died December 8, 1717. Captain Benjamin Swett was a noted char- acter in early Hampton history, and was killed by Indians, June 29, 1677. One son was born of the second marriage of Maurice Hobbs, also Maurice by name.
(II) Maurice (2), son of Maurice (I) and Sarah (Swett) Hobbs, was born in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, September 13, 1680, and died May 7, 1739. He married Theodate, daughter of Na- thaniel (2) Batchelder (see Batchelder, III) about . the year 1700, and their children were: James, Mary, Sarah, Josiah, Theodate, Morris, Hannah, Jonathan, Esther and Elizabeth.
(III) James, eldest son of Maurice (2) and Theodate (Batchelder) Hobbs, was born March 20, 1701, married Rebecca Hobbs, about the year 1719, and had a son James. (It is possible that Nathaniel, mentioned in this article, was also their son.)
(IV) James (2), son of James (I) and Rebecca (Hobbs) Hobbs, was born January II, 1729, and died April, 1816. He married, in 1752, Ruth Phil- pot, who was born December 29, 1731, and they had a son Stephen.
(V) Stephen, son of James (2) and Ruth (Philpot) Hobbs, was born April 10, 1761, and died January 21, 1821. He lived in Berwick, Maine, and in later years several of his children removed to

(VI) Isaac, son of Stephen and Abigail (Var- ney) Hobbs, was born August 10, 1787, and died March 2, 1870. He married, October 11, 1818, Elizabeth Chick, who was born September 26, 1790, and died August 31, 1857. They lived in Berwick, Maine, where Isaac was a farmer. They had two children, Nathaniel C. and Charles W., the latter of whom was born in Berwick, April 10, 1824.
(VII) Nathaniel C., son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Chick) Hobbs, was born in Berwick, Maine, Janu- ary 6, 1822, and for more than twenty years was a school teacher and farmer in that town. He taught school almost continually from the time he was seventeen years old until 1860, and in connection therewith carried on the old home farm which he inherited from his mother. She died in 1857, and in the course of a few years afterward he removed with his family to Dover, New Hampshire, where he has been a member of the board of assessors, holding office for twenty-seven years, and also a member of the school board for many years. Mr. Hobbs married, January 29, 1843, Elmira Little- field, who has borne him seven children: Charles E., born in Berwick, January 7, 1844, now living in Boston. Ezra A., born in Berwick, December 29, 1845, a physician and surgeon in active practice in Framingham, Massachusetts. Temperance S., born in Berwick, August 11, 1848, married, March 4, 1876, John H.

(IV) Nathaniel Hobbs was born in North Hampton, in 1742, and died in Ossipee, February 18, 1830. He owned property in Hampton which he lost in the early part of the Revolution, and soon after removed with his wife and five children to Ossipee, where he spent the remainder of his life. He married a Miss Leavitt, and had children : Benjamin, Nathaniel, Jonathan, Joseph and Reu- ber
(V) Joseph, son of Nathaniel Hobbs, was born in Ossipee in May, 1777, and died there, October 28, 1851. He became a prosperous farmer, and before his death owned four hundred acres of land, a part of which he cleared and otherwise improved ; and in connection with agriculture also did a con- siderable business in lumbering. He was regarded as one of the fathers of the town, and in 1832-33 he represented Ossipee in the state legislature. In politics he was a Democrat. He was familiarly known as "Squire Hobbs." He married Dorothy Cooley, who was born in 1783, and died in March, 1863. Their children were: Samuel D., Lovina D., Annah, Oliver F., Elizabeth, Lucinda B., Wentworth H., Ezra T., whose sketch follows.
(VI) Ezra Towle, youngest child of Joseph and Dorothy (Cooley) Hobbs, was born in Ossipee, September 23, 1827, and died April 25. 1873. He was educated in the public schools of Ossipee, was well instructed in farming by his father, and made agriculture his life work. Not long after his mar- riage he went to the vicinity of Winona, Minnesota. where he continued farming and lumbering for some years, and then returned to Ossipee, where the re- mainder of his life was passed. He married, June T, 1852, Hannah Maria Coggswell, who was born in Portsmouth, November 21, 1830, and died in
